Five visits to the Golden Hall and ten visits to the Jade Hall, recalling the prosperity of the past and turning this into a dream talk ",he recalled the glory of his life and was full of sentimental feelings. When Cai Jing went to Danzhou to be demoted, he brought a lot of money with him, but his evil deeds aroused the resentment of the people.

In the first year of Jingkang, Prince Zhao Huan acceded to the throne for Song Qinzong. At that time, most of his minions followed Song Huizong to the East, while Liang Shi stayed in the capital because of his old kindness. To this end, Taixue Chen Dong and Buyi Bing jointly wrote a letter denouncing Liang Shicheng. Zhang Bing refers to Liang Shicheng as Li, saying that eunuchs correspond inside and outside, fearing an accident. Chen Dong also said that Liang Shicheng's decision to cheat and steal merits should be punished according to law. Song Qinzong was forced by public discussion and has not been released yet.
